I never thought I'd be writing this

Lately I have not been posting on here as to be honest I don't know what to say. My membership (red) has run out but I will Renew on Friday.

Anyway the thing I'm trying to say is from Saturday I will no longer own my launch car.
It needs too much work and I neither have the time or want to it anymore.

After offering my last launch car for free and it turning into a headache I am just taking a few bits off and scrapping it.

I've used the car once in the last 2 months and it's costing me money just sat there.

Will I get another 75.. at this moment in time I'm really not sure. I just don't have the time any more. I'm sorry if this irks some people but I thought I best let you know. Thanks Thomas

Aww!!! That's a shame Thomas. But it's your car and your decision on it's fate. But don't be a stranger. Pop in from time to time and the urge to get another 75 may just come back.

No worry, people don't get an option to comment when someone chooses another breed, so that shouldn't matter now. Just keep popping in with your comments and knowledge. Good luck.

Sorry to hear this Thomas. Is there any particular reason you have fallen out of love with it? If you do move it on, make sure you do it for the right reasons and not regret it later.

Lots of regulars leaving lately... so much change!!!

Yes it's a shame.
Often though needs must. I personally did virtually everything to my cars but now I just cant. We are not getting any younger and neither are the cars.
I think that they will survive but only to those with spare cash, a garage and time.
Pity really.
